Harsh example of the injustice system

- Dear Editor: Ron Kubek Summerland Alan Nichols, Kelowna

Canada’s justice system is laughable. 65year-old Dianna Mah-Jones and 68-year-old Richard Jones were murdered by Rocky Rambo Wei Nam Kam. The convicted Kam murdered these people with a hatchet.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Laura Gerow said during her recent decision that the victims were innocent and defenceles­s strangers to Kam, who murdered them in their own home in a prolonged and vicious attack. Gerow ruled the request for consecutiv­e sentences was not appropriat­e because it would have imposed an unduly long and harsh term. Unduly long and harsh? Guess what lady, murder is longer and much harsher. How many people does one have to kill to get more than one life sentence? Is there some formula Justices use, perhaps five or 10. Consecutiv­e sentences should be the norm otherwise why stop with just one? them. We are NOT.

We all live in a society and as such have an obligation to the others not to take actions that put society as a whole in danger.

If health officials decide that wearing masks is good for our safety, then not wearing one would be a breach of our obligation to the rest of the members.

Not taking precaution­s with COVID is surely as dangerous as standing in the middle of a street and firing a rifle indiscrimi­nately in any direction.

I must also lay blame at the feet of our current PM who is unwilling to address mistakes made by his father and correct them.

What I speak of is the Canadian “Charter of rights and freedoms.”

This is one bill that should NEVER have come into being in its present form.

When you live in a society, a lopsided bill like this spells doom for the continuanc­e of our society.

Rights and Freedoms without responsibi­lities and obligation­s will surely mean the breakdown of that society.

Please, ALL politician­s, get together and figure out a way to make our society stronger not weaker. I do believe this is not who most of us want to be.

Taking care of they neighbour is not just for those who are religious but for all who live in a society.

I am surprised that he didn’t throw in another attack on something Harper supposedly did back in 2006 as is usually his main event. Possibly it was edited out for the sake of brevity but would have added to the entertainm­ent factor.

Unfortunat­ely these examples are so trivial in nature, compared with current events, that they demonstrat­e how desperate the Liberals and their spokespers­ons have become to deflect attention from their corruption and misdeeds. To now discover the $943 million was given to the investment property arm of the WE “charity,” and not to the “charity” itself, was another incredible revelation of criminal behaviour.

In his conclusion “Even Jesus Christ himself would be a pariah in some circles” he has dramatical­ly hit the nail on the head. He and his Liberal friends think Justin Trudeau IS the new Messiah. For them he can do no wrong. Justin himself is totally convinced he walks on water and thus can do anything he wants because of divine right. This entitlemen­t does not forgive unethical criminal behaviour.

So I guess he IS a Pariah in my mind, and definitely NOT the new Messiah.
